I want to use this on battery flash units now, and change the speedring and use it on a monolight later. Is the speed ring there able to be changed?

I think you can change the speedring. The softbox itself has four bendable steel rods like any other softbox. I haven't used it with another speedring myself, so you might want to check directly with the manufacturer before you purchase.

Because of the ring mount, it's designed more for studio strobes or moonlights. If you could somehow mount it to a stand and aim the flashgun through the ring, I suppose it would work

I don't know that they sell with Profoto option but it is a standard speed ring so any Profoto compatible speed ring should fit. Possibly the insert of the ring could be changed instead.

I've never used the ring flash with my 100mm, but I don't see why you can't.

Yes, you can certainly change the focus using the ring. The Hoodman works great. Just did an outside shoot today and let my clients see through it to view photos during the session. They need to adjust it for their eyesight as well. Hope this helps. :)

I use it only on a Canon DSLR but see no reason it wouldn't attach to the lens of any other make of camera. However, you should understand that regardless of camera manufacturer this ring flash will not give you TTL --through the lens metering.

I don't know for certain as I have a Nikon speed light. It seems adjustable for probably will fit many flashes.

Yes, but it is not obvious. On the holder on the ring, at the rear of the holder, below a small camera type shoe mount, push the toggle down and slide the flash out of the shoe. The electric cable only gives you about 18 inches from the ring's power supply. The flash units have individual 1/4 inch standard camera receptacles on the bottom, so they can be positioned on appropriate tripods or other 1/4 inch platforms for precise close in work. And the unit takes 4 AA batteries. Good in a way (cheap, reliable), but you have to remember to replace them before they go bad and corrode the inside of the battery case. I try to replace all sleeping batteries every spring and fall equinox. Yes, but it is not obvious.

I have speedlights on stands, on TT5s with some kind of light modifier. I found a landyard for a name tag ( tacky) and looped it through and hang it from the light stand(s). I wish they made something a little nicer but I am going to make something that is a but more functional maybe with fastex buckles.,,,,I have attached the pack on a flash frame ( monsterous) and on my belt loop ( cumbersome)

Yes. The flash heads of most medium size speedlights are quite similar, and the FotoDiox attachment is flexible enough to be used on the vast majority, if not all.

I'm going to guess and say yes. The reason for saying that is, because I'm using a old film Nikon flash with SB600 and SB700. Sorry but I don't own any Yongnuo Speed lights. I hope this helps to answer your question.

You would need to get an adapter to attach to the speed light in order to use these soft boxes. Check out this thread: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=801744 There are softboxes specifically made for speed lights. Westcott has one that I've used before that is super light weight, where the Fotodiox are pretty heavy.

Sorry, I am using the Gary Fong light modifier on a Speedlight 910 which it fits snugly. Gary fong has just released a new lightsphere which has a new mount system. It looks like it is faster to put on and would handle a broader range of flashes. It uses velcro type straps to tighten it in place.

I have a bowens mount hot light and the beauty dish just plugs and locks right in the three pronged configuration. So I think the answer is the speedring is built in.

You could but the speedlights may touch the inside of the softbox depending on the spread of the three-speedlight bracket. It would also depend on if ur using a 600ex vs the 430ex (cannon) speedlites. Overall I think this would work out for ya.

No, not at first. I went through a ton of frustration and research on this. What you will need to buy is something called a speedring. They sell them on amazon and they are approximately $20. Basically they are adapters so that you can fit the light box to your light. I ended up returning this light box and getting the 60 inch. Even the 60 inch is too large for me. If you are looking to buy a slightly used 60 inch. Let me know. It's big and takes up too much room in my small studio. I just started using studio light in addition to natural light. If you are interested and need help you can message me on Facebook. Just look up lens 2 life photography. I hope this helps! Shannon :)

Honestly I doubt you can. They are pretty specific as to what they can be used on. I've tried them on several different flash units and from what I can tell, they only work on the units specified.
